Fly-drive holidays in Vancouver allow you to fully explore and appreciate the spectacular natural beauty of the surrounding areas. Create your own itinerary and see the sights at your own pace - you’ll discover something breathtaking around every corner.

Even on a daytrip from the city you’ll get to enjoy a very different side of Vancouver. Take in the views from Grouse Mountain, then make a stop and explore by foot or mountain bike. Enjoy a treetop adventure at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and cross the world’s longest and highest suspension bridge as it crosses the Capilano Canyon. If you have a few days, a trip to Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains is well worth it. Or spend some time on the slopes of the picturesque alpine village of Whistler.

The scenery of Banff, Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains is a long day's drive (8-9 hours) east, but well worth it.

Whistler – 1 day

Squamish is about half way between Vancouver and Whistler, offering a wealth of outdoor recreational activities. Whistler (about 1.5 hour’s drive from Vancouver) is mandatory when you are in this region. In the winter, enjoy some of the best skiing in North America and in the summer try some authentic mountain biking. This lovely village provides a great selection for active people and is littered with bars, restaurants and pubs to entertain.

Okanagan – 2 days

This is a four to five hour drive east, with a large number of wineries, water activities in the summer and skiing in the winter. It is a popular location for sun seekers and outdoor enthusiasts.
